Dear Faculty:
We are winding down our programming for the semester and we are busy preparing for next semester. Please feel free to reach out if you have any ideas for programming. Also, don’t miss out on our call for Faculty Fellows!
| |
Are you interested in increasing your involvement in the Center for Faculty Development? If so, check out our Faculty Fellows program! This year-long program is designed to support pedagogical, scholarly/creative, and professional development interests of faculty that intersect with the work of sponsoring offices at LMU. Applications are due December 2nd. You can find application information here.

We want to remind you that for every CFD event you attend this semester you will have the opportunity to enter a raffle for the upcoming Lilly conference in San Diego in January (9th -11th). The conference theme this year is Teaching for Active and Engaged Learning. Please click here for more information. We will have 5 winners and you can increase your chances by attending more of our CFD events! The winners will have their conference registration and their hotel stay paid for.

Also, when possible, we will be offering our events both in-person and on Zoom. You can indicate your preference on the RSVP form.

Wed, 11/20 12:00 – 1:30pm in Uhall 3030: Lunchtime Listening Session on Graduate Student Writing (In-Person and on Zoom)
Do you teach in, administer, or support a graduate program? If so, the Academic Resource Center (ARC) and the Center for Faculty Development (CFD) invite you to a lunchtime listening session! We would love to hear about the writing needs of your graduate students, the ways in which you have tried to meet those needs, and the needs that are still unmet. That information will help the Writing Center and the CFD determine the most efficient and effective ways to partner with graduate programs across campus and scale up support for graduate student writing in all disciplines. This session will be led by Michael Noltemeyer (Senior Writing Instructor in the Core).

Tues, 12/3 3:30 – 5:30pm in Uhall 3030: End of Semester Celebration and Cookie Decorating (In-Person)

We’ll celebrate the end of the CFD’s first semester and we’ll thank our dedicated outgoing faculty fellows, our former CTE director, Karie Huchting (who helped us tremendously in transitioning from the CTE to the CFD), and the sponsoring offices for our faculty fellows program.
